Overview
Escape to the wind-lashed Isles of Scilly with this six-book paperback collection following Detective Inspector Ben Kitto through a run of atmospheric island mysteries. From bonfire-night horror to a bride found hanging from a cliff face, Kate Rhodes builds tension, grief and community secrets against a backdrop of storm-battered coastlines. Ideal for readers of British procedural crime who love a strong sense of place, this set delivers six complete, standalone-friendly cases featuring a detective haunted by his past and determined to protect the tight-knit islands he calls home.

About the Books
Each title plunges Ben Kitto into a fresh case rooted in the isolation of the Isles of Scilly. In Devil's Table, a foggy night attack leaves one twin missing and the other unable to speak, launching an investigation into buried resentments. Burnt Island opens with a charred body found on a bonfire during St Agnes's Fifth-of-November celebrations, forcing Kitto to confront long-hidden grudges among neighbours. In Ruin Beach, now Deputy Chief of Police, Kitto battles the slower pace of island life as a quiet summer turns dangerous. Pulpit Rock sees a swimathon interrupted by the shocking discovery of a body in a bridal gown. Hell Bay, chronologically the series opener, brings Kitto home to Bryher after a traumatic decade with London's murder squad, only for a fresh murder to test his recovery. Finally, The Brutal Tide raises the stakes as Craig Travis, a gang leader Kitto helped convict, returns seeking revenge. Across all six novels, Rhodes combines classic whodunit plotting with the emotional cost of policing a place where no secret stays buried for long.
